Handspun & Handwoven Wool Shawl by Robin Lynde
Jacob sheep are white with black or gray spots so when handspinning you get a huge array of naturally colored yarn. In designing this shawl I found all the balls and skeins of Jacob yarn I have spun over the last few years and arranged the colors randomly. Some of the yarn is plied and some is singles. I was inspired from a love of my own Jacob sheep and their fiber and the unique wonderful texture of handspun yarn. The weft is soft wool yarn from the Solano County Timm Ranch sheep. The shawl is lightweight but warm with incredible drape.

Robin Lynde raises sheep in Solano County and has been weaving for 40 years. Locally grown wool is probably her favorite fiber, but she doesn't limit her weaving to that. She has recently added botanical printing to her creative endeavors, and prints on silk scarves as well as her own handwoven textiles. Robin has been an Artery member since 2002 and has served on the Board for almost that long.
